Petri Purho has released the latest in his line of experimental games over at Kloonigames. Hero Programmer Quest is a coders take on the Guitar Hero games; in Petri’s own words:
“You’re a programmer at NVIDIA. You’ve just released a graphics card driver that is killing computers all over the world. In order to save the world from a death by exploding computers you have to fix bugs in your code as fast as you can. It’s the game that puts the dead in deadline.”
As a real beginner when it comes to coding (my extremely patient friend Mitch has been attempting to teach me C++) I’ve only managed to get through the first 3 stages. I think the game definitely has potential as a learning tool though and could be a good way to help teach syntax through spotting the errors. I’d like to see the game with a beginner mode , that allowed noobs like me to read through the code and find the errors without the countdown.
